It seemed like time to update and get the new ftp-proxy. During this I ran 'pkg_delete -q /var/db/pkg/*' while updating the sources. The OpenBSD build was okay, but ports are not building now. The command might have been package-specific; i.e., perhaps I should have used 'port uninstall' instead since I have been using 'make install' in ports.
Probably I could begin to use packages now and things would be okay, but am trying to learn how to compile things properly. This installation is -current on AMD64. Is there general method to make ports work again in this situation? Darrel
